137. Using indexOf( ) method







indexOf( ) searches Index value for the first occurrence of a character.

Example- "This is a test statement".indexOf('a')   // 'a' is the character to be searched for in the provided text

indexOf( ) searches Index value for the first occurrence of a substring.

Example - "This is a test statement". indexOf("test")   // "test" is the substring to be searched for in the provided text

Lets implement this on Eclipse IDE:

1. Create 'indexOfDemo' class under any project as shown below:



2. Save and Run the 'indexOfDemo' class
3. Observe that the output is displayed in the console as shown below:

In real time, when do we need these ?
Understanding the purpose of the methods through this blog but having real time scenarios will help beginners like me, so we can relate.
